These wonderful bedding plants give uniformly good results in all 

 sections of the country. They succeed in any sunny position, in 

 any kind of soil, but will repay liberal treatment. For best results 

 spade the beds 2 feet deep, and incorporate in the soil a liberal amount 

 of well-decayed manure of any kind. Water well at all times. The best 

 effect is given by planting large masses of one color, setting the plants 

 18 inches apart.
